This Thursday, FC Porto seeks to recover from the false entry into the League Cup, in the visit to Desportivo de Chaves, in a match of the second day of Group A of the competition, which the national champion never won.
The blue and whites were surprised in their debut by Mafra, who play in the II Liga, and reached the break with a 2-0 lead, before FC Porto minimized the damage and established a 2-2 draw, in a group in which the three games achieved ended in a draw.
For the match, starting at 7:00 p.m., in Chaves, the dragons coach, Sérgio Conceição, will not be able to play with Diogo Costa, Pepe and Otávio, who represent Portugal in the 2022 World Cup, while Zaidu, Stephen Eustáquio, Evanilson and Veron are injured.
